Thanks! I've seen one other one out there but definitely not as shiny and pearly as mine. And since I've only seen one other one, just curious is anyone knows anything about that particular color. Not many people seem to. Grandpa's was a Honda dealer for many years but sadly isn't around

MizMandaLyn, it is true, in the 83 model Pearl Siren Blue was a stock color. The color may have "faded" a bit over the years. But in this case, as it is well maintained and polished, it actually seems a little brighter than stock. Thus the confusion. She's a beauty -- You received this

This is not an aftermarket paint color. The color code on the original frame matches this color which was applied at manufacturing of the bike itself. Trust me. I've checked. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To

Yeah pretty sure those holes were drilled in the baffles as well. The PO of my bike attempted that on one side but gave up when he realized it was 2 layer of metal. Filled it with JB weld original sanded it and repainted it stove pipe black. -- You received this message because you are

Amanda, are happy with the color? It's tough to tell from one photo but it looks like a decent paint job. Plus whoever painted it went to the trouble and ordering and applying the stock decals. How does the bike run? Does it seem solid to you? *Paul LeBoutillier * *www.hondanighthawks.net

Hi Amanda! Welcome to the group. Blue-tipped exhaust, huh? Can you post a picture? I've never seen a Nighthawk 650 with ANY kind of colored exhaust. *Paul LeBoutillier * *www.hondanighthawks.net * Honda Nighthawk Lovers Email group

I have a 83 nighthawk which is light blue in color. I've never seen one before this one (and I'm fairly familiar with bikes in general). It also has blue tipped exhaust which is a never before seen thing as well. I would like to think it's factory just due to how the entire internal piece of
